A crime, I paid just forty nine cents for this record. It rounds out my Boston collection. I don't count their 4th and 5th ablubs. Did they have a 6th? By now (then, really), noted genius and recluse Tom Sholz had/has jumped the shark. The bulk of the liner notes on the this record are about 1.) how awesome Tom is (OK, he actually IS quite awesome; has a masters degree in mechanical engineering from MIT) for having invented the Rock Man, and 2.) OK - we get it Tom, absolutely no synthsizers were harmed [used] during the making of this record. I think the bad used a girl bass player after this record. Nice. And guys I just saw play drummer Sib Hashiam and guitar great Barry Godreau were not longer in the band. This album has the hit Amanda on it, plus Cool the Engines. By the way - the Rockman is Rockman is a highly-praise invention in rock and roll technology. Like the name suggests (think Sony Walkman) it is a guitar amplifier and headphone unit. The original Rockman was developed and built by Tom's Scholz Research & Development, Inc. Tom later sold Scholz Research & Development to Dunlop Manufacturing, Inc. in 1995. Dunlop continues to manufacture the Rockman Ace, and Tom Scholz's signature still appears on the unit.
